Alabama Shakes with special guest Chicano Batman at Santa Barbara Bowl 08/14

ALABAMA SHAKES @ SANTA BARBARA BOWL  08/14

If you missed Alabama Shakes at Coachella this year, or aren't making it up the coast to the Outside Lands in August, have no fear Santa Barbara! On Friday August 14th, Alabama Shakes will be making their Santa Barbara debut at the beloved Santa Barbara Bowl with Chicano Batman opening the show. They're currently on tour in support of their sophomore album Sound & Color (released via ATO Records), which is the follow-up to their 2012 debut Boys & Girls (currently certified GOLD.)  

The procedure of pressing Sound & Color onto vinyl wasn't , and instead it underwent a unique method that involved comprising lead singer/guitarist Brittany Howard. As an avid vinyl collector, I highly recommend that you watch what took place behind the making of this record as Howard documented it herself. You can clearly grasp how important this procedure was to the band, which makes it quite heartwarming to say the least.    

Fun Fact: Sound & Color debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200, selling 97,000 units in the first week of release. (Grab it either on iTunes or Amazon for vinyl/cd/mp3/etc.) Don't forget, you can always pick it up at your local record store!

Lindsey Stirling with special guest LIGHTS at Santa Barbara Bowl 8/15

Electronic violinist Lindsey Stirling, will take her critically acclaimed live show on the road with her highly anticipated North American 2015 Summer Tour. The multi-city trek will make a stop at the Santa Barbara Bowl on Saturday, August 15 at 7:00 PM. Special guest Lights will open the show. Tickets go on sale Friday, April 24 at NOON. Lindsey’s last US tour sold over 100,000 headline tickets and nearly 200,000 headline tickets worldwide. 

Side note: Lindsey played a sold out show at SOhO back in Nov 2012, so one can only imagine how much more magical her return will be. 

The tour will continue to support Lindsey’s critically acclaimed sophomore album Shatter Me, which according to Neilson, was the #1 and #2 best-selling Electronic album in 2014. Released on April 29, 2014 via Lindsey’s own label Lindseystomp Records, Shatter Me debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Top 200 Chart, #1 on the iTunes Album Chart, and spent an impressive 21 weeks straight at the #1 spot on the Billboard Classical Album Chart. Since the release of Shatter Me, Lindsey has made a slew of national television appearances on shows such as Good Morning America, Today Show and the View and was recently honored with YouTube’s prestigious Music Award, which recognizes the site’s 50 biggest artists and musical acts.

Fans can expect to hear Lindsey perform some of her biggest hits to date, including her breakthrough track "Crystallize" and the very personal "Shatter Me" in an all new revamped production from her last US tour, which is currently being shown on Public Television. 

Lindsey has created a new music world where the romance of Celtic folk music and modern classical meet the infectious energy of dance and electronica. She is the model of a modern independent recording artist, with a symbiotic relationship with her fans. A motivational speaker in her spare time, Stirling uses her own story to show teenagers that you’ve got to have confidence in the very thing that makes you unique – then wait for the world to catch up.
